Title: Scoreboard
Post by: Julius on April 03, 2006, 03:22:49 pm

Currently the scoreboard only shows kills (and sorts after that also).
But if you are a base builder (who can effectivly win a game almost alone by establishing forward bases etc) you always end up at the last place on the list :(

Maybe a score could be added that also counts buildings/repairing/damage dealt etc, instead of just kills?

Would also improve the e-penis of the people who do a lot of damage to the enemy's base too...

Individual scores really shouldn't be displayed at all, this is a team game. Besides, sportsmanship ought to be more important than getting a high score regardless of how much fun everyone else is having.

This only applies to public games.

And that is why I think it should be alot more obvious who won at the end...
Some team statistics like total builidngs build/destroyed would be much more interesting I think.

Showing scores can boost ego (or e-penis as some call them), true.

Showing scores can also be like a slap in the face if you're in the negative.

Comparing yourself to other people and finding you're not as good as they is never fun.

So, according points to people wich acts behind the scenes to enable his/her team to win seems a good idea.

However, the problem wich arises is: how do you reward a peson who sits in the base and patiently repair/rebuild structures?

I like to think that those people value teamplay and uderstand that the individual score is of no value.

Therefore, they do not need to have some special kind of score to enlarge their e-penis.

You could have a score seperate to kills.
For every 40 damage you do, you get 1 point. For every kill you make you get 1 point.

For each construction you get some points depending on what it is. It'd probably be better then if you used those points to upgrade. Then builders can get updrades too. (multiply all the alien evolution costs by 3)
